What a man your Dad was. Some of my fondest memories are set around that kitchen table with a baseball game on. Coffee and conversation as the world whirled by. They don’t make men like your Dad and Ken Riddle anymore and thats a sad thought.
I have very fond memories of Terry @ Aquinas. I will be thinking of you all in the coming days.
I can only echo what Steve said. So many laughs and good times around that kitchen table. Terry was a great guy, always helping everyone. I remember him showing up for my sons wedding and immediately being put in service to finish a half completed bathroom remodeling. Never a complaint.
Sure have good memories too of the Black River Casino. Bingo, then late into the night playing the slots and the ride home dodging deer. It has never been as much fun since.
I’m sure right now, he’s sitting up in heaven drinking a Sundrop.
